Subject – Verb Inversion
As we have reviewed, the subject of a sentence tells who the
“do-er” or “be-er” is, while the predicate of a sentence
completes the rest of the sentence and contains the verb and
all accompanying modifiers.
This is the normal order but this can be “inverted” for several
reasons.
Subject – Verb Inversion
Reasons for subject-verb inversions:
1. Questions
2. Expletive constructions
3. To emphasize certain words
4. When a sentence begins with an adverb or adverbial
phrase/clause
5. Negative construction
6. After “so”
Subject – Verb Inversion
1.
Questions
Are you ready?
In this example, “you” is the subject and “are” is a
linking verb.
Subject – Verb Inversion
2.
Expletive Construction
There were four basic causes of the Civil War.
In this example, “causes” is the subject and “were” is a
linking verb.

construction.
